most remarkable discoveries ever made in
America. The mummies differ from Egyp-

naked, cnly few having a loose covering,
and they have evidently undergone no pro-
cess Of embalnling. The flesh is so thoroughly
dried that it resembles parchment, and the
corpses are very light The mummies were

the numerous branches Of the Sierre Madre
mountains, near the ella. in Arizona. One
